Summary: Incorrect file path reported by inspect.getabsfile()
Initial Comment:
The following code demonstrates the problem succinctly:
###
import inspect,sys
print 'Version info:',sys.version_info
print
f1 = inspect.getabsfile(inspect)
f2 = inspect.getabsfile(inspect.iscode)
print 'File for `inspect` :',f1
print 'File for `inspect.iscode`:',f2
print 'Do these match?',f1==f2
if f1==f2:
print 'OK'
else:
print 'BUG - this is a bug in this version of Python'
### EOF
Running this on my system (Linux, Ubuntu Edgy) with 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 produces:
tlon[bin]> ./python2.3 ~/code/python/inspect_bug.py
Version info: (2, 3, 6, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` : /home/fperez/tmp/local/lib/python2.3/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /home/fperez/tmp/local/lib/python2.3/inspect.py
Do these match? True
OK
tlon[bin]> python2.4 ~/code/python/inspect_bug.py
Version info: (2, 4, 4, 'candidate', 1)
File for `inspect` : /usr/lib/python2.4/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /home/fperez/tmp/local/bin/inspect.py
Do these match? False
BUG - this is a bug in this version of Python
tlon[bin]> python2.5 ~/code/python/inspect_bug.py
Version info: (2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` : /usr/lib/python2.5/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /home/fperez/tmp/local/bin/inspect.py
Do these match? False
BUG - this is a bug in this version of Python
###
The problem arises in the fact that inspect relies, for functions (at least),
on the func_code.co_filename attribute to contain a complete path. This
changed between 2.3 and 2.4, but the inspect module was never updated. This
code:
###
import inspect,sys
print 'Python version info:',sys.version_info
print 'File info for `inspect.iscode function`:'
print ' ',inspect.iscode.func_code.co_filename
print
### EOF
shows the problem:
tlon[bin]> ./python2.3 ~/code/python/inspect_bug_details.py
Python version info: (2, 3, 6, 'final', 0)
File info for `inspect.iscode function`:
/home/fperez/tmp/local//lib/python2.3/inspect.py
tlon[bin]> python2.5 ~/code/python/inspect_bug_details.py
Python version info: (2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
File info for `inspect.iscode function`:
inspect.py
###
(2.4 has the same issue).
Basically, if the func_code.co_filename attribute now stores only the final
filename without the full path, then the logic in the inspect module needs to
be changed to accomodate this so that correct paths are reported to the user
like they were in the 2.3 days.

It looks like this is a bug in Ubuntu build process.
The logging package had the same problem:

As I mentioned, on hand-built Pythons I don't get the bug at all. So it
may be a problem with how Ubuntu builds its Python, since I can reproduce
the problem with both 2.4 and 2.5, but only with the default ones provided
by Ubuntu Edgy. I don't know enough about their packaging system to know
how to retrieve build info.
There may be something odd in their build, but it would be nice if this
simply couldn't happen at all. If anyone knows how to retrieve the
relevant info from an ubuntu build, I'll be happy to try and provide it.

I haven't been able to reproduce this with Python 2.3.5, 2.4.4, 2.5.0 or
SVN HEAD (all hand-built on Slackware Linux).
What options are you providing to ./configure?

No, in my case the original tests with 2.4 and 2.5 were done with the
Ubuntu-provided (Edgy) versions, unmodified from their apt-get install
state. But your comments are interesting. I just rebuilt 2.5 by hand from
source on the same system, and this is what I get:
tlon[bin]> ./python2.5 ~/code/python/inspect_bug.py
Version info: (2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` :
/home/fperez/tmp/local/lib/python2.5/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`:
/home/fperez/tmp/local/lib/python2.5/inspect.py
Do these match? True
OK
tlon[bin]> ./python2.5 ~/code/python/inspect_bug_details.py
Python version info: (2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
File info for `inspect.iscode function`:
/home/fperez/tmp/local//lib/python2.5/inspect.py
So basically it seems that there's a difference in the value of the
func_code.co_filename object attribute depending on how the build was
made.
At this point I'm not really sure if this should be considered a Python
bug or an Ubuntu one... Perhaps the Python build process can be made more
robust, I simply don't know.
But the end-user behavior /is/ a bug, so it would be nice to know how to
fix it.
Thanks for your info!

Hi,
On a custom-compiled Python 2.5 on Ubuntu Dapper, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/code/python $ python bug_1666807.py
Version info: (2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` : /usr/local/lib/python2.5/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/inspect.py
Do these match? True
OK
On a system python 2.4.3 on another Ubuntu Dapper system, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/code/python $ python bug_1666807.py
Version info: (2, 4, 3, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` : /usr/lib/python2.4/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /usr/lib/python2.4/inspect.py
Do these match? True
OK
However, I can recreate this issue on another system (CentOS4) with a
custom install where a symlink is involved. I get:
[prompt goes here python]$ python bug_1666807.py
Version info: (2, 2, 3, 'final', 0)
File for `inspect` : /xxx/yyyy/PythonHome/lib/python2.2/inspect.py
File for `inspect.iscode`: /xxx/yyyy/Python-2.2/lib/python2.2/inspect.py
Do these match? 0
BUG - this is a bug in this version of Python
Is a symlink involved on the system where you saw this behaviour?

Note: a colleague just tested this under Python 2.4 for Mac OSX (intel),
and the problem didn't show up there:
import inspect
print 'File for `code` :',inspect.getabsfile(code)
print 'File for `code.interact`:',inspect.getabsfile(code.interact)
Gives:
File for `code` :
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/code.py
File for `code.interact`:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/code.py
My original tests were done under Ubuntu Edgy Eft, using the
Ubuntu-provided 2.4 and 2.5, and a hand-compiled 2.3.6 from the source
download at python.org.
HTH,
